Art Deco Era Bakelite Feather For Your Hat

The old phrase 'A feather in your cap' takes on bold Art Deco proportions with this oversized genuine Bakelite 'feather'.

Made of beautiful olive drab green Bakelite, this feather measures 7 inches long by 2 1/4 inches wide. It's tapered so you can stick it into a hat band (or the hat itself) at the pointy end. The top curls around in a flamboyant swoop. There are two tiny rivets at the center which were probably used to fasten this to the hat fabric.

This circa 1930s feather can also be used as a hair adornment...even be turned into a pin. With a feather in your cap...or in your hand, you can do wonders. Excellent vintage condition.
